UK Payroll - Calculate pension contributions on pre-SMP earnings
Employer pension contributions for employees on SMP should be calculated on the employee's earnings before they went on leave, not on the reduced rate of 90%. Xero's calculation is currently on the latter with no option to overwrite. The correct calculation would be first choice, but the option to change figures would be helpful also

UK Payroll - Support for HSBC BACS payment files without a service user name
Add a template another file option for payroll. HSBCnet allows file uploads with a SUN however as Xero does not have this template it means only options is to apply for a SUN and increase costs of paying our payroll. We need a file that accommodates ACH CR BACs (non-SUN) files. Requirement is Xero payroll ERP configure the file without a SUN then please ask them to do so, as it should be identical to the one we have tested for supplier payments, meaning the word ‘HSBC’ should be quoted on the VOL1 line and the areas where the SUN…
10 votesHi everyone, thanks for providing your thoughts on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how important different payment files are as some banks don't accept the file exported from Xero.
You might have seen from a related idea that our product team is currently testing a new feature to allow direct wage payments from Xero payroll.
While this is not exactly what you’re suggesting, an integrated payment feature would defeat the need for manual payment file exports. We'll be back to share more updates on this.

AU Payroll - Show dates of leave transactions on payslips and reports
On payslips and in reports, I think there should be dates next to the following items so it isn't confusing for the employee and when checking reports. It makes it more transparent too.
Time In Lieu
Annual Leave
Sick Leave
Compassionate Leave

UK Payroll - Ability to customise pension letters on Xero
For some clients we use Xero's Postponement and Eligibility letters. This has proved very useful but currently the letters cannot be customised.
We have a client for example who pays a higher employer contribution percentage than the standard. The letters however, only show the standard percentage's despite the settings being different to the standard. We also have a client who has asked for their company logo to be added to the letters.
After speaking with Xero Central I was informed that the letters currently cannot be customised and don't pull from the pension settings.
If this could be looked into…
27 votesThanks for sharing your idea on customising pension letters in Xero.
As you're aware, it's not currently possible to amend the details on the pension letters. These letters state the minimum requirements outlined by the Pensions Regulator.
We need to be upfront that customising these letters is not on the foreseeable roadmap, so we'll update this to Not in Pipeline. If you want to edit the details or wording of the letters, this would need to be done outside of Xero.

AU Payroll - Reset leave accrual on anniversary date
Set up leave so that it automatically tops up at the start of the year with a set amount.
I have an employee that has an arrangement of xhours per years to be used as they wish. At the start of each year this reverts back to the agreed hours. Any hours not taken during the previous year is cleared.10 votesHi there, we appreciate you raised this a little while ago. This isn't something we have plans for in the near term.
Not getting a lot of support from other members we’ll soon remove this from Product ideas. If it’s still highly valuable to you, welcome to start it again and see if it gets renewed interest.

UK Payroll - Show HMRC PAYE bill on awaiting payment screen
Payroll Bill
When submitting VAT Xero now allows you to create a bill that sits on the AP pending payment. Is it possible to have a bill create for Payroll taxes linked to payroll accounts and sits on AP pending payment? This will keep the debt much more visible for companies and make reconciling much cleaner.

UK Payroll - Pay employees directly via Open Banking
With the advent of Open Banking, it would be great if when you submit the payroll, it could also utilise OB to physically make the payment to the employee also. This would help automate the whole payroll process.
16 votesHi team, we appreciate anyone that was involved in testing of this feature, and I'd like to share that work for this has progressed .
We look forward to offering direct wage payments via open banking with Crezco to all UK payroll orgs soon.

Create timesheet availability to Contractors set up in Xero payroll as Non employee.

AU Payroll - Filter superannuation payments screen
Multi select or more filter options when processing superannuation payments. This would expediate processing super payments for large employers. For example, you should be able to filter the super payment to show only last month super and select all and submit for payment. At the moment, if we want to process the previous month's super, we have to manually unselect each employee super that relates to the next month or quarter that we aren't required to pay yet.
18 votesWe can see you raised this a little while ago, so wanted to touch base with an update. We can see that this idea has been steadily gaining support, so have updated the status accordingly.
It's also useful to note that there may be a few changes to superannuation in Xero with the ATO's upcoming PayDay Super changes rolling out in July 2026.
This means superannuation is firmly on our product team road map. They will be updating payroll customers about the changes in the coming months.

170 votesThanks everyone for your continued feedback on the need for a Leave Balances Report in UK Payroll. We appreciate you all taking the time to vote, comment, and share how this feature would improve your workflow.

AU Payroll - Pay employees directly in Xero
It would be great if we could pay our employees similar to how we can process a batch payment in XERO for bills. At the moment I am having to go into the bank account at the end and pay each employee individually.
Is there another way to do this ? I may be missing something.
Thank you
12 votesHi team, we appreciate wanting to make flows as efficient as possible and this would simplify making payments to your employees.
While this isn't possible right now, we have a close eye on all the ideas in the forums here and will continue to track the interest in this closely.

Xero Me - Clock in and clock out on timesheets
Xero Me - Needs spot in App to input the Earnings Rate and Tracking Category for the employee. Needs a start/stop button for clocking in/out so that when the employee starts the day they simply press start and the app records the time started. When they press stop it records the stop time until the start time is pressed again. This can be used for breaks and for start and finish of the day - these can be edited if someone forgets. Currently you have to type in times and this can only be done at the end of the…
67 votesHi everyone, thank you for your detailed feedback on a clock in/out functionality in Xero Me. We see how being able to clock in and out directly from Xero Me would improve accuracy for job tracking, while enabling employees to easily log start/finish times and capture breaks at the touch of a button.
As part of a wider project to improve timesheets in Xero, we’ve updated the status of this idea to Accepted.
While this status means the product team would like to develop this, it’s not currently on our roadmap and we don’t have a delivery timeframe. We will continue to consider your feedback as we plan future updates. Thanks for your patience and ongoing engagement.

AU Payroll | Employee - Second Emergency Contact Option
Could we please have an option to add a second emergency contact for our employees.
Currently when creating a new employee we only have one space for an emergency contact. However, in the case of an actual emergency only one contact may not be enough, a second contact gives a much higher chance of being able to get in contact with someone.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here.
We appreciate being able to easily add a secondary emergency contact to the details tab of the employee record is important to you.
Atm, you could use the notes tab to add a new note to the employee record and include the details in here.
To be open we don't have direct plans for making this change within the details tab any time in the near future.
